Mysterious 'Black' Project Underfoot?, page 8

I'm back. Good Holiday it was, for some of us I guess. Well, I've had time to sleep and rest and it really helps. I'm glad to see the game is apparently just that, a game. I'm not against 'em. Played a few myself back in the day. D&D AD&D, GURPS, Marvel, Top Secret Classified, Robotech, MechWarrior, Twilight 2000, and the like. I never downed it as a game. I might even look into playing, but they should at least have a link to a disclaimer for National Security concerns of all Nations involved in playing. While I'm sure they are well monitored- aren't we all, Systems only flag known keywords, how do you program it to spider the web looking for pages that are seeded as part of a larger thread. To keep it current and realistic is fine, but so realistic that it can not be distinguished from reality is by definition a psychosis or delusion. To think we are over-reacting, we are not. We are a World in such tension that the least crack could make us snap. How many terrorists have to kill nonmilitant individuals before we start killing their nonmilitant civilians just to get the right ones. Whether the World events are orchestrated events or not, most of us are pretty exhausted and fed up chasing violence fueled by suspicion, fear, and fueled by ideology. If you quit calling them Terrorists and call them what they are Citizens who are not only fed up with their own government, but foriegn governments who control or manipulate that government, to the point that they pretty much want to erradicate anyone and everyone whose different from them. That describes many, many, many people, you, me, the people around you. You can understand being fed up with lies, bullying, and being robbed right in front of your face. Look at the US bailout, they take the peoples money and give it to the wealthy, and turn off their phones and shut down their systems as they were "flooded" with complaints, yet, despite being overwhelmed didn't not give $$$ away. If anyone has cause to exterminate or overthrow their corrupt and useless goverment, Americans do. That we do not is testament to our desire to seek every means of resolve we can possibly find and pray we never run out of options. They feel, for whatever reason, their options are non-existant. To them it's do or die any way you can. Our "over reaction" is due to concern that A) these people have invaded our high and low tech communications, etc. or that B) this is just a game, but, has the potential to inspire the most catastrophic form of warfare the Information Age has ever seen. I promise you, their government(s) and ours are already working on the feasability of making this happen as we type and read. It's that, like putting red plastic caps on toy guns to minimize our youth being blown away (by our men with a badge and gun due to the very real fact of open, rampant, organized crime), reality based or not, they should be required to carry or, at the very least, link to a dislaimer, at least, on the email form or down in the "contact us" section. Then we could verify if these sites are 'known and approved' for ourselves, if we still had doubt. The logic that it's just a game is not suitable. Neither is the idea that it seeks to be as realistic as possible. In reality, potentially adverse products are required and proscribed, by law, to carry such disclaimers on their products and services, Filmmakers and Game Designers are not excluded. When we see things like this we assume they are real and that they want to kill us. Just because it's a game doesn't alleviate the potential and fear that it is a terrorist group who inspired or designed the game. It also sheds light on how easy it would be for them to do so, if not. What's more, profit mongers and power frieks might create a similiar product or service covertly to test or assess reactions, or cause reactions which would further their business and/ or political agendas. The US Department of Homeland security, say, could push secure email monitoring.
